He originally finished fourth in the clean and jerk and total at the 2014 World Weightlifting Championships, but gold medalist Daniel Godelli was disqualified after he tested positive for stanozolol use,[4] giving Pavlov two bronze medal performances.

He is notable in weightlifting for his unorthodox clean technique, with a very pronounced hitch at the hips and diving under the bar.[5]
